ScotRail's 22 January 2024 response to a Freedom of Information request states that the most recent (at least, as of November 2023) trouble relates to the residents of Station House attempting to prevent access to a 20m long path between the private road and the station platform.
Network Rail have stated that they are the owners of the path.
Network Rail have stated that they are the owners of the path.
The most recent focus centres around a 20 metre path between the private road and the station platform. They have tried to prevent Network Rail, ScotRail, Transport Scotland, and contractor staff accessing the station to undertake works. While many of the interactions have been civil, some have been threatening and intimidating.
Network Rail has confirmed the footway between the private road and the station platform is in its ownership. Efforts to resolve the situation to date include obtaining an interdict and seeking support from the police. However, the neighbours are not prepared to listen to reason and continue to threaten anyone looking to take access to the railway to carry out work.
